A set of interrelated or interacting activities that acts on inputs to produce outputs[1]
Description

Processess in an organization are generally planned and carries out under controlled conditions to add value.
A process where the confirmity of the resulting output cannot be readily or economically validated is frequently refered to as a "special process". [2]
